HAPPY  6TH BIRTHDAY

FRANCESCA, FINNEGAN, 

AND CECILY !!!

Today is your day

This morning we got up very early to celebrate the big birthdays.

I can hardly believe Francesca, Finn, and Cecily, are six years old.

Francesca, the birthday girl!

Finnegan, the birthday boy!

Cecily, the birthday girl!

It's Birthday Time...

 "A Circus Party"

Last weekend Francesca, Finnegan, and Cecily got to have a big birthday party with friends.  They invited their entire kindergarten class and a few more very special friends. We had a magician come and he was awesome!  It was so much fun to see all of the kids laughing so hard at him.  He made a rabbit appear, a bird was flying all around the room (not planned), and he could juggle like no other.  I think everyone had a really fun time.  I know my kids did.

Francesca and Cecily loved the bunny.

"making magic"

Cecily was laughing so hard that it was contagious.

"the gang"

Finnegan got to be part of a story that the magician told.  He was laughing so hard until the magician told him he was going to disappear... Finnegan then looked at him and said, "I'm not doing that today", and sat down.  After a minute of coaxing, we convinced Finn that the magician was only joking.  Finn hesitantly stood and finished the story.  Worry never left his face until he heard the words "the end".

Noni and Mimi

The very best grandma's in the world!

Isabella 

The very best big sister in the world!

Anna and Elle

Time to make a wish ...

XOXO

"Happy Valentine's Day Tyler"

I love you

A Snowy Valentine's

When we woke up on Valentine's Day there was so much  snow.  We decided 

we better enjoy it and take the kids sledding.  We went up to Sundance 

with a couple of cousins and dearest friends.  

It was a great day.

Fire Station Field Trip

 Francesca, Finnegan, and Cecily got to go and visit Fire Station #5 today. 

 They got to "drive" the fire truck, explore the inside of an ambulance, and see what a fire fighter looks like when he's dressed in "full gear".  They had a great time and learned a lot.

Here is Mrs. MacKay's kindergarten class.

"wild boys"

Finnegan and Jackson were having a camp out. 

 They even pretended to cook their "elk meat" over an open fire.

Isabella made over 60 magnets to sell at the "Third Grade Sale". 

She sold out in less than twenty minutes. 

Great work!

a moment in motherhood

Every once in a while I feel like screaming too.

"Love Butterflies"

Tonight the kids made "Love Butterflies" to get in the  mood for February.
